Police Officers Shot at in US Town Where Black Teen's Death Triggered Protests

WASHINGTON: Two police officers were shot at and one wounded late Saturday near the flashpoint city of Ferguson, Missouri where the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teen triggered race riots and national outrage.

Saint Louis County Police Department spokesman Brian Schellman said a bullet struck one officer on foot patrol in his left arm around 9:10 pm Saturday (0410 GMT Sunday).

The suspect is on the loose.

The officer had been conducting a business check at the Ferguson Community Center when he noticed the male suspect and tried to ask him why he was there. The suspect then ran away.

"The officer initiated a foot pursuit of the subject. During the foot pursuit, the subject spun toward the officer armed with a handgun, and fired shots at the officer," Schellman said in a statement.

"The officer returned fire at the suspect, however there is no indication at this time that the suspect was struck by return gun fire from the officer."

A police search failed to turn up the suspect.

In neighboring St. Louis, an off-duty police officer was shot at by an unknown number of assailants while driving his own car on a highway shortly after midnight.

The officer, who sustained minor injuries from broken glass, did not return fire.

"It is unclear at this time if the officer was targeted or if this was a random act of violence," Schellman said.

Ferguson has seen large protests take place since Michael Brown, 18, was shot dead on August 9 by a white police officer.

The college-bound teen was shot at least six times by police officer Darren Wilson and his body was left in the street for several hours before it was removed.

Violence rocked Ferguson -- a St. Louis suburb of 21,000 with an African-American majority and an overwhelmingly white police department and town council -- prompting Missouri Governor Jay Nixon to briefly call in the National Guard to quell protests.

Some demonstrators complained that police used undue force against peaceful protests. The military-grade equipment of Ferguson's force also prompted nationwide discussion about whether police should be dressed for warzones while engaging with American civilians.

🙄

This move is yours, not the picture

1. Till how many years will there be vacancies? I really want to join but can't do it immediately due to family problems.

2. Is there any job for the very very overaged? I am keeping my fingers crossed.

3. Is there any job for the extremely slow? How slow? You have to see it to believe it. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Bro, In Shivamogga and around there are more than 50 Foundries offering different levels of jobs, if you provide details then I can give some details and can you tell me from where you are ? because there are many labour supply agents available through them you can approach different vacancies

Presently in Foundry Division
  • Unskilled (uneducated, Metric passed or failed) – regular works like loading & unloading and production helpers jobs are available. Presently more than 100+ labours from Dispur & Imphal area are recruited in Shivamogga
  • Semi Skilled - jobs are available at Patternshops, Melting Section, Stores & Maintenance Department
  • Skilled labours like ITI passed or failed, degree holders in the areas of Mechanical & Electrical for freshers jobs are available at Patternshops, Melting Section, Stores, Lab, Testing & Maintenance Department for experienced labours superviours jobs are also available
2. Foundry works are of very laborious and many people leave their jobs within weeks of joining its difficult for average people to work.

3. We don’t recruit people work slow as foundries runs on partial automation and machines never wait and industrialist always consider time as money.

my suggestion is If labours are slow then they should lookout in the areas of agriculture or service sector
 
I wish everything falls in place and I join your workplace after the following events:

1. My family issues are resolved so that I am free to join.
2. The neurological medications work and my speed and efficiency increases to the level of satisfaction of all the bosses in your company's hierarchy.
3. Last but not the least, you guys should accept me despite my age.

I am keeping my fingers crossed.
